Don't forget to bust your 'girlie' moves
Posted Monday, April 29, at 1:24 PM As you know BW and I just returned from a couple of weeks in Hawaii. It was glorious. The temperatures ranged from the high 80s during the day to the bone-jarring low 70s at night. Hawaiians wear sheep line coats and hoodies when it gets that cold. I said to a local, "Why don't you come to Indiana if you want to know what cold is?" He said, "Why would I want to do that?" I had no answer...
Buskirk was the 'biggest Yankee in the world' The 27th Indiana had the tallest soldiers of the Civil War. David of Company F was 6-feet, 11-inches tall and was the tallest soldier on either side at a time when most men were from 5-3 -- 5-6 tall. The average height of men today is about 5-10 so to stand out today as he did then, David would have to be 7-4...
Whoever thought that was an improvement? Many people work on how to improve products in the marketplace. The most often words heard in advertising are "New and Improved." If companies don't sell they are out of business. By the way I read that Twinkies may be back in a month or two. Wooh Hooh. I can't wait...
Harbingers of spring There are several characteristics that all humans possess. One of the strongest is the need for variety or change in our lives. It seems that humans are always waiting on change. I don't know about you but I am ready for a change. I am ready for spring. ...
Did he really just say that? You've got to be kidding Jock Strap: "Hello fans, and welcome. We are in the Zeller Arena on the campus of the Gifford Giraffes. I am Jock Strap alongside my partner Swet Socks. We are glad you joined us as we bring you the game between the Giraffes and the Beantown Counters...
Howard Hughes must be spinning like a lathe Traveling by air is not for the faint of heart. One feels like a sardine or an army recruit on a troop train from New York City to New Orleans in 1942. It is similar to being transported through the Valdez Pipeline with windows. Travelers are held hostage in an enclosed environment breathing the same air that someone from Uzbekistan just expelled. ...
Telemarketer has more stamina than anticipated Ring, Ring, Ring "Hello" "Hello, May I speak to Larry." "Speaking." "Sir, I am calling as a follow-up about your recent inquiry to our company concerning energy products, stamina and male enhancement products." "About what?" "The products that our company produces that deal with energy, health and stamina and male enhancement issues."...
Bob Did His Wyatt Earp Impression Bob and Sandy were dog sitting a miniature schnauzer for friends when they received an invitation to go to the regional basketball game in Evansville to watch the hometown heroes vie for the championship. So they sub-let the biscuit eater to another friend...
It Was Colder Than A Dog's Nose on Your Leg in August Indiana winters are paradoxical. If you don't like the weather just wait and it will change. There are cold interludes and then warmer interludes. I say that while sitting here wondering when did all of my wild oats turn into prunes and bran flakes...
Today is a New Opportunity A recent poll indicated that the movie "Hoosiers" was voted as the best sports movie of all time. Polls are biased because the only people who can vote are living now. Humans tend to focus on the present and forget those who lived a generation or two ago. Teachers, musicians, athletes, writers, military leaders, actors, clerics, doctors of two generations ago are forgotten unless they were extraordinary. That's the way it is...
Men Beware The Marriage Test Men, I have some advice for you and as I always say the two best things about advice are: (1) It is free and, (2) You don't have to take it. If your wife is reading a woman's magazine and asks, "Honey, I am reading a marriage test in Woman's Afternoon. ...
My Teeth Get Longer Each Day There are some subtle and not so subtle clues that I am getting long in the tooth; an old agrarian term concerning horses. As horses age their teeth continue to grow and give indication of their age. I have been receiving other indications that I just might be older than the posted speed limit...
I like Christmas from years ago At the risk of being called the Grinch, let me state that the celebration of Christmas has evolved radically in my lifetime. Santa Claus has supplanted the Savior. In this corner dressed in swaddling clothes and weighing a hefty eight pounds is the Savior. In the other corner dressed in red with white fur weighing in at a hefty 800 pounds is Santa Claus...
BW can't end a phone conversation Over there in the hills and hollers of Calvertville where I was found one day under a cabbage leaf and taken in to raise, we had a phone system with the switchboard anchored in the living room of Edith and Harry Buckner's house and you could listen as others talked; many did...
Why do some bozos have to ruin everything? I'm going to sound a bit preachy today. I warned you. It doesn't matter what the event, there are often people in attendance who ruin it for others. The common denominator for much of that misbehavior is beer, alcohol, John Barleycorn - booze. Those rowdies are often immature and lack any concern for others. ...
My broken toe should heal in a month Last week I regaled you with my saga about the water softener repair, the tress we had to have removed, replacing the roof on the house and the incident with replacing the gas log in the fireplace with an electric log. The saga continues. Woe is me. ...
It all started with the water softener It all started with the water softener. Our well water is quite hard and has a high content of sulfur. It is harder than the soles of the feet of the cast of Riverdance; it comes out of the faucet like gravel. Of late our water softener became a hardener. Mr. Repair Man said, "You can buy a new one for $1,300 or replace the control valve for $200. We now have a new control valve. It works fine...
Audley, Elzy ponder women's fashions Women can wear clothing styled like men's clothing but men dare not wear clothing styled like women's clothing. And I agree with that reality. Female fashion has adopted items once the domain of males: Dress shirts, trench coats, baseball caps, vests, T-shirts, sweat shirts, sweat suits, tank tops, shoulder pads, tennis shoes, long pants that used to be called slacks and the list goes on...
I Have 20K Boots To Sell BW and I like to go to the mountains and West or the ocean on vacation. We don't see much of that in Indiana. The west has a beauty all its own. We love it. It is difficult to grow corn, beans, and watermelons out there but they have cows, gold, coal and other minerals...
Some things people say just don't make any sense Today I am going to discuss some issues that have been bouncing around in my head like a basketball at midnight madness practice at IU. Some colleges and universities use peculiar names for their athletic teams. The Florida Gators; the Florida State Noles; the Miami 'Canes; and the South Dakota 'Yotes. Why don't the Hoosiers call themselves the 'Zures and the Boilermakers the 'Akers. The Indiana State Sycamores could be the 'Smores...
